Decision-theoretic reliability sensitivity [PDF]

Reliability Engineering & System Safety, 2022
We propose and discuss sensitivity metrics for reliability analysis, which are based on the value of information. These metrics are easier to interpret than other existing sensitivity metrics in the context of a specific decision and they are applicable to any type of reliability assessment, including those with dependent inputs.

Density modification-based reliability sensitivity analysis [PDF]

Journal of Statistical Computation and Simulation, 2014
Sensitivity analysis of a numerical model, for instance simulating physical phenomena, is useful to quantify the influence of the inputs on the model responses. This paper proposes a new sensitivity index, based upon the modification of the probability density function (pdf) of the random inputs, when the quantity of interest is a failure probability ...

A SENSITIVE, RELIABLE INEXPENSIVE TOUCH DETECTOR [PDF]

Journal of the Experimental Analysis of Behavior, 2007
Research in our laboratory required a sensitive, reliable, inexpensive touch detector for use with rats to test the reinforcement of inhibition (e.g., Anger, 1983). A small touch detector was also desirable so that the detector could be mounted on the rat's cage close to the object being touched by the rat, whose touches in turn were being detected by ...

Reliability Sensitivity Analysis Method for Mechanical Components [PDF]

Mathematical Problems in Engineering, 2021
Based on the univariate dimension-reduction method (UDRM), Edgeworth series, and sensitivity analysis, a new method for reliability sensitivity analysis of mechanical components is proposed. The univariate dimension-reduction method is applied to calculate the response origin moments and their sensitivity with respect to distribution parameters (e.g ...

Improving statistical inference on pathogen densities estimated by quantitative molecular methods: malaria gametocytaemia as a case study [PDF]

, 2015
BACKGROUND: Quantitative molecular methods (QMMs) such as quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (q-PCR), reverse-transcriptase PCR (qRT-PCR) and quantitative nucleic acid sequence-based amplification (QT-NASBA) are increasingly used to ...

Sensitivity study for long term reliability [PDF]

2008 IEEE/AIAA 27th Digital Avionics Systems Conference, 2008
This paper illustrates using Markov models to establish system and maintenance requirements for small electronic controllers where the goal is a high probability of continuous service for a long period of time. The system and maintenance items considered are quality of components, various degrees of simple redundancy, redundancy with reconfiguration ...
